Thankfully Jonathan was able to take it to an independent repair shop for a $75 CAD adhesive fix (and battery replacement?) despite Apple's restrictions against them.

my dad is 64.

last week when i spoke to him, he told me he broke the screen on his iPhone. he told me that he called a fixit place and they wanted $100 for the repair

man that he is, he went on eBay and bought a screen repair kit and did it himself
